<p class="p1"><strong>The Santa Monica Mountains</strong> are a traverse mountain range that stretches from the <strong>Pacific Ocean</strong> 64 kilometers east to the flood plain where the <strong>LA River</strong> is fed by the <strong>Verdugo Wash</strong>. The southern side of the eastern end of the range is almost always referred to as the <strong>Hollywood Hills</strong>. The central portion lies within LA's <strong><a href="http://www.amoeba.com/blog/tags/westside/page1.html">westside</a></strong> and the foothills are home to some of LA's most affluent neighborhoods (e.g. <strong>Bel Air, Beverly Hills </strong>and&nbsp;<strong>Pacific Palisades</strong>). To the north, separated by the mountains, is the <strong><a href="http://www.amoeba.com/blog/tags/san-fernando-valley/page1.html">San Fernando Valley</a></strong>. Technically, the <strong>Channel Islands</strong> are also part of the range, although they're separated from the mainland by water.</p>

<p class="p1">The western portion of the Santa Monica Mountains separates the <strong>Conejo Valley</strong> from <strong>Malibu</strong> and the neighboring communities that make up the Los Angeles district known as the <strong>Santa Monica Mountains </strong>area. The district borders Ventura County to the west and north, the San Fernando Valley to the northeast and the Westside to the east.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear: both;"><a style="font-size:13px;" href="/blog/2011/06/eric-s-blog/california-fool-s-gold-a-santa-monica-mountains-primer.html">Continue reading...</a></div>http://www.amoeba.com/rss-link/blog/2011/06/eric-s-blog/california-fool-s-gold-a-santa-monica-mountains-primer.html
